Planet

The planet Kaepheu is a desert planet in a small solar system with six other planets.

Kaepheu is about 2 times smaller than Earth and its gravity is about 0.82 times that of Earth.

A single day lasts ~16.67 hours and a year lasts 187 days. The planet is made up of 1 continent, which make up 45% of the planet's landmass. 1 moons orbit the planet and Kaepheu itself orbits a blue sun in a circular orbit.

The plant-like organisms on this planet are exclusively various types of cactuses. Many are small, much like you'd find on Earth. But others are towering high up to 4 meters, similar to trees on Earth.

The animal life on this planet is made of hundreds of species that are mostly carnivores. While people of this planet domesticated few animals for meat and transport others will tend to eat one another to survive

The aquatic life too is full of wonders. Highly specialized plants, which closely resemble the corals of Earth, cover nearly everything in the not too deep waters. Their colors are bright and numerous, something they share with the Earth corals. But their shapes and sizes are far beyond anything ever seen on Earth or anywhere else we've discovered.

The intelligent lifeforms on this planet are comparable to the humans of the bronze age, except that they are already more inclined to try to explain the mysteries of their world. Unfortunately they are quite violent, so they tend to live in smaller communities which they will protect at all costs. There are some signs of teamwork between the different communities, but it's not common. This could lead to interesting developments in language and customs, but only time will tell how this will turn out.
